Corporate Responsibility Management

As an important component of corporate strategy, Corporate Responsibility (CR) is a key factor for the future viability of companies. This is because the targeted and active assumption of social and ecological responsibility can provide small, medium-sized and large companies with a wide range of benefits and significant competitive advantages. Profitability and social responsibility are not mutually exclusive, but go hand in hand.

The "CR Management" programme is organised by the German-Azerbaijani Chamber of Commerce Abroad (AHK Azerbaijan), the AHK Ukraine and the Nuremberg Central Franconia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK Nürnberg Mittelfranken) with the support of the programme Business Scouts for Development of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
